Cabin
Fever for Two started in North Carolina in 2006 after attending the
Southeastern Harp Weekend together. Ever since then Sharon and Anna
have seized the opportunity to get together, along with their harps,
for a week at a time to play and work on these tunes together. One
of the things that makes this easy is that they are cousins. Technically
cousins-in-law with Dave, Sharon's husband the official cousin. Anna
and Dave's fathers were brothers.

Denise Grupp-Verbon reviewed this book in the Spring 2013
issue of the Folk Harp Journal. Here is the review:
Sharon Thormahlen's creations have never been disappointing and this
collection is no exception. Featured are eight selections arranged
for harp duet. Titles range from traditional tunes like "The Water
is Wide" and "The Ash Grove," to Hewlett" by O'Carolan
and the familiar "Inisheer" by Thomas Walsh of Dublin.
This collection has a nice variety. I am sure a harp duo could create
a lovely program from this book. Each arrangement features a score
and parts and the two parts complement each other nicely. The collection
is appropriate for late beginners to intermediate pliers. There are
a few clearly marked lever changes, some glosses and also rolled chords
and some syncopation. There are no fingerings provided, but chord symbols
and dynamics are included. Sharon and Anna include a paragraph of program
notes for each selection. If you have someone to play duets with (or
more!), I know you will enjoy this book! We look forward to Sharon
and Anna's next project.

From Mary Dragoset: I wanted to tell you
my experience with your book Cabin Fever for Two. A friend and I did
two of the duets this morning and the congregation loved them (Ash
Grove and Water Is Wide). But here’s
the most interesting thing about your arrangements: between rehearsals
and performances, I managed to find just about every possible way to
mess up – wrong notes, missed measures, totally lost – and
if we just kept going and got back together, overall, it sounded great.
I’ve never had that experience with duets before and can only
attribute it to the fact that these are great arrangements. Thank you!

From Chris Neiburger: My friend and I have been enjoying
these duets so much. We love that the parts are equally melodic and
interesting. So often duets are have a 'strong part' and a 'simple'
part, so that one player is working hard and the other is bored! Not
so with your pieces. Both parts are so much fun to play! Is there a
practice CD available for this book? It would be so helpful to hear
these pieces performed so that we can catch any mistakes and oversights
we might be making.....and just to enjoy hearing them! (Yes there is.
It is $5 and contains each tune played together and each part played
separately).

From Eliza Mitchell (Heart Strings harp Circle): We
want to thank you for your harp music. Our harp circle did a concert
last night. We think this is one of the best concerts we’ve
done and that it’s due to the fact that our program included
your music. We played everything from The Cabin, except Matilda. We
really enjoy playing your music; it’s easy to read, highly
accessible and absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing it with us.

Deborah Sandler: We received the books on Thursday; I distributed
them on Friday; and we're all in love !!!!! We'll be adding Ash Grove
to our repertoire immediately. Some of the others we will tackle in
the new year.

Holly Coates-Bash: I just realized that you co-wrote
Cabin Fever for Two, one of my most beloved duet books. Thank you so
much for writing it!...my duet partner and I have had so much pleasure
from playing the pieces. I see you have written many other pieces....do
you have any other duets? (Yes, Under the Double Rainbow is a
duet book, as is The Lone Egret. Fiddlin' Around on the Harp has at
least 10 duet pieces in the book. See links in the list below. There
is also a duet in Sweepin' the Clouds Away called The Birds
of Blueridge
and a duet in Moon Over the Mountain called The Alpenglow.
